Performance Evaluation of Green-Rated Housing Developments in the Warm Humid and Composite Climates of India
India is among the top five countries in the world for green buildings. However, data on actual energy performance and occupant satisfaction in these buildings are lacking. This paper seeks to apply a customised post-occupancy building performance evaluation approach for Indian green buildings (I-BPE), to evaluate the actual performance of two green-rated housing developments in India—representing the warm-humid and composite climatic zones. Both developments contained flats with and without air conditioning (AC). Results showed that although flats with AC had higher electricity use than those without, there was no significant difference between measured indoor temperature and relative humidity levels. Even the level of perceived comfort was no different across the two groups indicating a high level of adaptation of residents in non-AC flats. The methods and data gathered in the study can be used to inform the design of green housing development for different income groups in India.
